Two days in Switzerland, landing in Geneva

I have an upcoming trip to Europe and will be landing in Geneva Switzerland on Sat April 25th at 7:30 am and have to be in Grenoble France on Monday April 27th by noon.

I have spent a weekend in Geneve on a prior trip so would like to explore some other plac e in Switzerland. Initially was thinking of either Bern, or Veveaux/Montreaux, and read Rick Steve's Best of Europe and he recommends Gimmelwald and the Berner Oberland.

I like a mix of architechture/culture, good food with some walking/hiking/enjoying nature. (if there are some activities even better, guided walks, rafting etc).

Wanted opinions on

1. Places you would recommend I spend the two days in and itinerary of things to do

Thanks much for all the detailed suggestions, it looks like this weekend is going to be rainy so cities sounds a bit better than mountains, so think will try to go to Bern and Murten (and maybe Avenches).
